Referral Candy & Affiliate (4.9★, 1,480 reviews) and ThreeStove Affiliate Marketing (5.0★, 2 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.
ThreeStove Affiliate Marketing holds the higher average rating (5.0★ vs 4.9★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly; Referral Candy & Affiliate has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (1,480 vs 2).
AppRanks cannot say which fits a larger or smaller operation — there is no store-size measurement in the Shopify App Store data. What it can show: Referral Candy & Affiliate has 1,480 published reviews; ThreeStove Affiliate Marketing has 2 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. Referral Candy & Affiliate and ThreeStove Affiliate Marketing both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from ThreeStove Affiliate Marketing" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
